Letter from Ashley Gagné, Vice-Chair, Board of Supervisors

Dear West Goshen Residents and Businesses,

Spring is on the horizon, and I am looking forward to longer and warmer days ahead. As Board liaison to our Parks and Recreation Board, I can promise you that West Goshen has many wonderful community events planned this spring.

I encourage you to check our calendar on the Township website, and to read our newsletter to stay up to date on all the fun happenings.

I am also pleased to share that our Township will be celebrating our first year as an official Tree City USA. This acknowledgement comes after years of preparation and pursuit. I would like to recognize our Board, staff, Township Manager, and our Sustainability Advisory Committee for their efforts in bringing this to fruition. Tree City USA distinguishes West Goshen as a community that cares for its trees, and for the health of its people. I am extremely proud of our Township for achieving this honor and hope to continue to pursue this recognition year after year.

West Goshen Township Board of Supervisors Meetings on YouTube

The monthly meetings of the West Goshen Township Board of Supervisors are livestreamed and made available on the Township’s YouTube channel. This is an option for members of the community who want to be informed on what is happening in the Township, but cannot always make it to the meetings. Simply go to www.youtube.com and search for “West Goshen Township” in order to view the meetings. Links to the meeting videos are also made available on the Township’s website in the “Agendas & Minutes” section for each meeting. There is also a live comment feature that is monitored during the meeting by the Township Manager. The Board of Supervisors meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm.

Plans Under Review

The Planning Commission issued a recommendation for an industrial land development application for a 3,640 square foot truck repair building at 708 East Union Street.
The Planning Commission issued a recommendation for a residential subdivision/lot line change for 2 and 4 Greenbank Avenue. This plan will be before the Board of Supervisors for approval on April 5, 2022.
Plans currently under review include a 19,325 square foot warehouse building on Saunders Lane, a self-storage facility on Snyder Avenue, and hotel on Carter Drive.
The Zoning Hearing Board has two (2) applications before it. The first is for 1115 West Chester Pike (West Goshen Town Centre Shopping Center) requesting a variance in order to allow for pet hotel and dog day care services in the C-2 Commercial Shopping Center District as accessory uses for a proposed PetSmart retail store at this location. The second is for 833 Rosary Lane in order to install an attached garage partially within the building setback like.

The Zoning Hearing Board will review both applications on March 28, 2022 with the meeting starting at 7:00 pm.

Aqua Main Water Projects

Aqua PA is on track to complete their work in the southern portion of the Township. Road restoration is slated to occur this spring. The remaining projects are still under construction and updates will be provided as they become available.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation during the completion of these projects.

Traffic Signal Improvements

Over the last two (2) years, the Township has been working to install new reflective backplates on all Township-owned traffic signals. Currently, the Township owns 37 traffic signals throughout the community. Installation of the second half of the new reflective backplates was completed in late 2021. Reflective backplates are a low-cost safety treatment to existing signals that provide improved visibility of a signal read. Signal heads that have backplates equipped with retroreflective borders are more visible and conspicuous in both daytime and nighttime conditions. Additionally, they may also be helpful during power outages as they provide a visible cue for motorists to stop at the intersection ahead.

Upcoming Township Road Projects

The Township’s 2022 road paving projects are currently out to bid. The bids will be presented to the Board of Supervisors at their April 5, 2022 meeting to consider awarding of the contract. Work should be completed during the summer. Please watch the West Goshen Township website for additional information.

The West Goshen Township Public Works Department is hard at work replacing stormwater piping in the community. Our crew is working to replace a 28 ft. section of deteriorated corrugated metal pipe with two (2) junction boxes and two (2) C-top inlets on Albermarle Grove in the Fresh Meadows development. This project is ongoing. Another project was completed on Brandywine Parkway and involved the replacement of a 28 ft. section of deteriorated corrugated metal pipe. Thank you to the members of the Public Works Department for working to complete these projects.

The Township stormwater project on Sunset Hollow Road has been completed. The end walls and pipe have been installed and the road has been reopened to traffic. In the spring, the contractor will be back on site in order to install trees and complete certain grading and vegetation work that could not be completed this winter.

We Remember: Chief Edwin Draper Fox

On March 2, in 1907, West Goshen Police Chief Edwin Draper Fox was born in Easttown Township. He was the youngest of six children born to Hilburn and Marietta (Manley) Fox. His father worked on various farms in Delaware and Chester counties.

On 2 January 1941, Edwin Fox was appointed as the Chief of Police in West Goshen Township without any prior police experience. Fox was selected due to his physical attributes (tall & muscular), popularity in the community, and stable home life. Fox was married to the former Ethel Andress and they had one child, Edwin Jr. It was also helpful that the Fox family lived near the West Goshen Consolidated School on Paoli Pike because the number one priority at that time was to keep this school zone safe for about 400 children.

An interesting discovery was made while researching the life of Chief Edwin Fox. His sister Marian married a man named William Behrndt in 1920. That name should sound familiar as we employ his great-grandson and namesake. Our William Behrndt is a hardworking young man with a great sense of humor. We think his great uncle would be proud. We know we are! Learn more about Chief Edwin Draper Fox here.

COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE NEWS

Township achieves Tree City USA recognition!

As a result of the initiative launched by the Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC) with full Board of Supervisors support, the Arbor Day Foundation has recognized West Goshen Township as a 2021 Tree City USA.

The benefits trees bring to urban environments are significant, and the Tree City USA program—founded in 1976 and led by the Arbor Day foundation, with partners at USDA Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters—provides communities with a four-step framework to maintain and grow their tree cover.

The Township successfully met the criteria outlined in the framework by initiating a community tree ordinance; establishing a tree board; committing a minimum of $2 per capita to urban forestry; and celebrating Arbor Day. Read more about the Arbor Day Foundation and Tree City USA program here.

Join the Sustainability Advisory Committee in April at two events

April 9, 10:30 a.m., Community Park – The Sustainability Advisory Committee (SAC) will have a table at the Egg Hunt and Decorated Hat Parade with free reusable grocery bags (one per family) and information about the April 22 ban on plastic bags and straws.

April 29, 5:00 p.m., Arbor Day Celebration at Oaklands Cemetery – This year’s event will honor Joseph Trimble Rothrock, dubbed the “Father of Forestry” in Pennsylvania, in the 100th year since his passing, and will also recognize a newly designated heritage tree a short distance from his gravesite. For those inclined to take a slightly longer walk, you can also visit the grave of the eminent botanist Dr. William Darlington—a distant relative of Rothrock.

Directions and parking: Set your GPS for 1042 Pottstown Pike, West Chester (Google Maps link). Please park along the entrance roadway and walk, following signs for Section D, Lot 92. Attendees with limited mobility may park closer to the ceremony site.

Very little is known about two of the clock makers from Chester County, in the early 19th Century, who resided in the Goshen/West Goshen area. One of them was Joseph Cave who is believed to have resided in the old serpentine farmhouse on the bend of Goshen Road and Marshall Street in West Goshen.

Joseph was the oldest child of Thomas Cave and Lydia Matlack. Records seem to indicate that he was born in 1799 as his name appears on the tax records of 1780. He grew up in Philadelphia as his father was a Superintendent of the City Watch, a Deputy Keeper of the State Magazine, and a grocer. Thomas Cave and his brother-in -law, Jonathan Matlack, received 56 acres of land in Goshen Township on December 15, 1814, from the estate of Jonathan Matlack, Sr., who was Thomas Cave’s father- in -law. The parcel totaled 220 acres and these 56 acres were divided from the whole to his daughter’s husband and his son, Jonathan. There were nine children in Jonathan Sr.’s family to split the acreage. Lydia assumed title to the property in May of 1815, when her husband, Thomas Cave, died. She then jointly owned the property with her brother until her death in 1817. She and Thomas had six children. In her will there is a stipulation that from her estate $3.00 was to be paid to Jonathan Gause as tuition for Reuben, who was her son Joseph’s younger brother. Jonathan Gause was a teacher at the West Chester Academy, and this suggests that at that time the family was living in West Goshen since it was after the split in 1817, from Goshen to East and West.
